The Hunter's Westpac Rescue Helicopter has been called in to assist a man, after his paddle board was dumped onto a sand bank at Fingal Bay.
The 75-year-old was retrieved from the water by local surf live savers around 9.10am on Tuesday, and returned to the beach.
He was treated on scene by paramedics and the Helicopter Critical Care Medical Team for neck injuries, before being flown to John Hunter hospital in a stable condition for further specialist treatment.
